[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Euclid will be a moderate success.  The number of upper elementary students in central city (shaw, bloomingdale, eckington) is way up.  Proximity will entice some of them to stay and try it.[/quote]

Agree. But still, Cardozo will be a no for high school. Eastern and Coolidge will continue to improve slowly, but maybe faster if they hit a growth spurt.

The city will reboundary and maybe zone some kids out of Coolidge, CHEC middle, and other more crowded schools. Total enrollment decline will mitigate this but not entirely solve it. The huge number of elementary schools in Ward 8 will taper a bit due to lower enrollment. Having a clear process for mergers and acquisitions will help with that.

[b]BASIS will continue to plod along with its boosters, and will at long last get its elementary school started in a high income area.

Stokes will go through a more obviously rocky time but as the only French school, people will rally and save it. Sojourner Truth will continue to impress. Latins will Latin and DCI will DCI. MV P St will sort out its issues but the lack of a DCI guarantee will continue to put people off in the upper grades.[/quote]

I don't think "plod" means what you think it means.

P.S. This is one of those DCUM moments where any reply taking issue with that strange characterization will be declared "boosterism". The structure of the approach by PP is actually kind of genius. Take a shot at something. If anyone objects they are "boosters".[/quote]

I was referring to its progress on opening an elementary school. So far not much to show for it.

I think BASIS will switch to a K-12 and it will actually change the school system -- it will stop being a backup for people with bad IB schools and start being a school that's just for people who specifically want the BASIS model.

BASIS will become more successful, and possibly the bad IB schools will get better because the kids who used to consider BASIS will stay.

I do not think ther are enough such people to make a noticeable difference. It is one factor among many. In the context of the whole public system, BASIS just isn't that big a school. [/quote]
